A 2019 Study
Preface

As an output of the recently concluded project entitled, ‘Philippine Metalworking

Industry Study for Machining, Die and Mold, and Forging Sectors,’ this publication presents
the results of the 2018 survey of the Machining Industry. Along with the results are the
analyses of various factors influencing the industry’s status. Moreover, this report contains
insightful recommendations meant for the consideration, not only of the industries, but by
concerned academic institutions and relevant agencies in the government as well. The
Center also recommends this publication as reference material to be used by researchers,
whose study outputs are significant factors to the formulation of policies, creative and
critical decision-making, and drafting of short, medium, and long-term plans, both at the
company and national levels.
The conduct of the 2018 Survey of the Metalworking Industries and the writing of the
2019 Machining Industry Study report were both challenging and eye-opening. They were
challenging because the implementation of project activities was not always easy, often
stress-filled and risky. They were eye-opening because we had another chance to meet
the faces behind the surveyed companies, to hear their stories first-hand. We had the
privilege to ask questions, discuss their concerns, and provide technical advice. We had
the opportunity to talk with the people whose businesses impact the country’s economic
stability and growth.
The entire experience was an opportune time for us to step back and see the big
picture. With a broader perspective, we get to look at the metalworking industry’s current
status and see the challenges and successes we shared in the past. Moreover, this places
us – the government, the private sector, and the academe-in a better position to chart our
strategic direction leading to globally competitive metals, engineering, and allied industries.
It is the pride and honor of the Department of Science and Technology - Metals
Industry Research and Development Center (DOST-MIRDC) to serve the local metals,
engineering, and allied industries. This publication is a testimony of the Center’s unyielding
resolve to drive the industries toward global competitiveness, not only because it is our
mandate, but because it is a deep-seated commitment. It is our motivation. It is the very
reason for our existence.

“[The screw machine] was on the principle of the gauge or sliding lathe now in every workshop throughout the world; the
perfection of which consists in that most faithful agent gravity, making the joint, and that almighty perfect number three,
which is in harmony itself. I was young when I learned that principle. I had never seen my grandmother putting a chip
under a three-legged milking-stool; but she always had to put a chip under a four-legged table, to keep it steady. I cut
screws of all dimensions by this machine, and did them perfectly. (1846)” ― David Wilkinson

 Executive Summary

The Philippine Machining Industry: A 2019 Study

Strategic Initiatives: Rising Amidst Global Strains

Machining industry in the Philippines is one of the major industry that served various
sectors of the manufacturing environments of the country today. The current status of the
metalworking industry particularly the machining sector is described here as follows: the
industry profile shows that the machining sector have 1,006 actual respondents out of the
1,227 identified respondents. Majority of them located in Region IV-A or CALABARZON,
followed by the National Capital Region or Metro Manila and Region III or Central Luzon.
The number of machine shops established from 1990-1999 is twice as compared to its prior
decade. There are 37 shops that are already more than 50 years in business. There are
76.2 percent of the total respondents that are established beyond 1990 until 2018. This
means that about 24 percent have started their business before 1990. Majority of them are
single proprietorship followed by corporation with 79 and 19 percent respectively, with 926
or 92 percent are independent shops. In-house or captive shops is only 6 percent.
According to type of operation, 21 percent of the total respondents are into manufacturing
but 794 (79 percent) are into pure jobbing. Based on assets and employment, 32 and 17
respondents are large-size (with more than 200M and more than 200 employees) but 710
and 660 are micro-size with a capital of 3M pesos and less; with less than 10 personnel).
The personnel distribution based on training shows that 75.6 percent have undergone
either a formal, in house or external training. About 24 percent have no training at all. The
number of years of experience for machine operators are majority for less than 5 years and
5-10 years. As to the level of skills, majority of the machine operators fall under very
satisfactory, seconded by excellent, summing to 74 percent of the total belonging to
excellent and very satisfactory ratings.
The present condition of the market for machining sector are as follows: most
respondents fall under the repair services with 670 company respondents; next is the
industrial parts fabrication, followed by engine reconditioning and machine rebuilding.

vii | P a g e
Machine rebuilding and others constitute 191 or 19 percent. As to annual production, 2017
hits the highest value. Export of machined products have an increasing FOB value in 2013
and 2014, while experience a fall to 2015 until 2016 and rose to 2017. Import of machined
products have a generally stable increasing value from 2013 to 2017. The sectors being
served is topped by automotive/transport followed by metalworking next by industrial
machinery. Agricultural and construction sectors followed closely. Others include semicon,
mining and appliance manufacturing.
Technical profile shows that the sector is characterized by equipment that are
conventional lathe machines with 3,552 units (98 percent). Advanced equipment is only
afforded by bigger companies, while 31 percent SMEs of the total respondents availed of
the DOST-SET UP financial assistance program of the government.
Survey says that the general business perception of the machining sector today is
optimistic (673 respondents) because the trend of the annual production from 2015 to 2017
is increasing. The survey says that the outlook of the 65 percent respondents is improving,
despite the problems facing the machining industry. Good reputation, quality products and
reliable delivery are the top answers to the strengths and opportunities of the machining
sector. Comes close is the skilled manpower. The weaknesses and threats are stiff
competition, lack of customers and limited capacity.
The number one problem encountered by machine shop respondents is the human
resource, followed by the equipment and materials.
Volumes of activities, business condition, average selling, and numbers of people
employed will be enhanced, according to the respondents. In the same manner, the
presence of metal fabrication and machining of farm implements and other industrial
equipment, machining of metalworking jobs in the industrial establishment/machineries, and
modernization of some of our transport system will continue to flourish.
As to their business plans, half of the total respondents are willing to expand by
acquiring more equipment and increase their technical capability. Except for the
abovementioned expansion, most respondents are not planning to expand either by
additional branches or increasing product lines and services.
As to the current human resources, facilities and the supplies of raw materials of the
sector, there are needed improvements for the industry sustain global competitiveness
such as adapting new technologies (advanced machining processes, IoT* and industry
4.0), building linkages with the academe and establishing partnerships with industry
members and suppliers as well. For social responsibility, industry associations are

viii | P a g e
important to support the agricultural community at the same time looking forward to
partnerships that will create new exciting projects that will build more infrastructures for
regional development.

Introduction

The management of the Philippine economy affects the industry sector specifically the
machining sector and vice versa. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures production
regardless of the various uses to which the product can be put. The Philippine economy, as
of this date, has 6.2 percent in 2018 and 6.7 in 2017. However, “another hurdle is the fact
that the Philippines has traditionally underexploited its natural resources. The government
estimates that there are 21.5 billion tons of metal deposits in the country, including large
deposits of nickel, iron, copper and gold. But they have never been a significant driver of
economic growth because extraction has been mismanaged, Neumann said. In the shorter
term, there are concerns that the country’s newfound prosperity has not sufficiently
eradicated poverty…However, the Philippines remains as one of the best performing
economies in the Asian region in the fourth quarter of 2013, second only to China, which
grew by 7.7 percent, Balisacan said. On the supply side, the services and industry sectors
continued to be the drivers of economic growth, expanding by 7.1 percent and 9.5 percent
in 2013, respectively. "The services sector contributed 3.6 percentage points of the real
GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2013. This was followed by the industry sector with 2.8
percentage points and agriculture with 0.1 percentage point. Fourth-quarter growth on the
supply side was mainly propelled by manufacturing, trade, finance and real estate,"
Balisacan said… confident that we will meet the growth target of 6.5-7.5 percent for 2014,"
he said, pointing out that the Philippines is still poised to become Southeast Asia's fastest
growing economy -- a position it held last year [1]. The manufacturing sector has grown 10%
since the last quarter of 2013 which accounts for 55% of GDP. What further gives this
growth stability is that the expansion in manufacturing is broad-based coming from
shipping, medical products, toys, auto parts, and agriculture. Manufacturing accounted for
20 to 23% of GDP last year.
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) records show that apart from IT and
BPM, manufacturing is a sector that is of interest to visiting firms doing trade missions in the
country. DTI Undersecretary Ponciano Manalo Jr. said that 50 out of 200 investment
ix | P a g e
inquiries are about manufacturing. Investors come from the United States and European
nations. [2]
The Metals Industry Research and Development Center (MIRDC), an attached
agency of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), regularly conducts a series
of industry studies of the metalworking industries in pursuit of its mandate to assist the
metals, engineering and allied industries with professional management and technical
expertise on the training of engineers and technicians, information exchange, trade
accreditation services, quality control and testing of metal products, research and
development, and business economics advisory services.
For the year 2018, the Center focused to assess the metalworking industry on three
sectors (Machining, Die and Mold, and Forging). This proposed project supports also the
Investment Priorities Plan of the government to strengthen the metals sector to achieve
global competitiveness and sustainable development. As the machining industry served
other critical and important sectors such as transportation, industrial machinery, agriculture,
food, etc., it is a must that the government pursue more advanced studies as these will
affect majority of the Filipinos. The previous issue of the machining industry study was in
2009. However, the need to conduct the industry study of the machining sector is very
relevant to view the current condition as well as to monitor how far problems encountered
were addressed.
There are 8 sectors that comprise the metals and engineering industries, namely:
machining, welding, metalcasting, heat treatment, electroplating, die and mold, forging and
stamping. The industry study that was conducted for machining tackled on specific
economically profitable machining and fabrication such as industrial equipment fabrication,
machine rebuilding, engine reconditioning and other machining–related products/services.
Prior to this, the Center conducted in 2010 an industry profiling of all the seven sectors
based on a two-year timeline, where machining was included with 566 respondents. The
stamping sector was later studied in 2014 and was included as one of the sectors of the
metals, engineering and allied industries.
Machining sector is one of the biggest sectors of the metalworking industries,
composed of companies and shops with product lines and services that includes turning
and other machining processes. The machining process cuts across almost every sector
because it is needed in metalworking to be able to meet the basic requirements of the
industries, such as automotive and transport, appliances, packaging, fabrication and repair
of machines (agricultural, industrial and mining and other general machines and their

x|Page
replacement parts) as well as that of other allied industries. This study aims to formulate
relevant programs that contributes to the upliftment of the industry. Problems identified in
the previous studies were used by the government to formulate relevant programs that will
impact on global competitiveness and local development.
Currently, the process of determining the status of the sector depends on how well
the industry faces unforeseen situations, how it prepares for the identified perennial issues
and assess to what extent does the programs of the government in collaboration with the
industry have met the need to find solution. The Center gleaned the previous study and
made an assessment of how to continually improve the global competitiveness of the
industry. Although several of the identified problems where already addressed, there is still
a need to focus on the current troubles in the industry. Since 1966, MIRDC has been the
sole organization to conduct industry studies but to address industry problems need a
collaborative effort. For this purpose, its technical and administrative staff engaged in the
crafting of the survey questionnaire, fielding/collection of data, consolidation, analysis and
publication of the study. This time, the MIRDC aims to look into the status of the industry, its
background, market analysis, technical profile and the present strengths, weaknesses of
the machining sector of the metalworking industry.
On the country’s 2018 status, ‘the Philippines, on the production side, the services
sector advanced 6.9 percent, compared to a 6.8 percent growth in the three months to
June. Growth in the sector was supported by public administration & defense, compulsory
social security (17.8 percent); financial intermediation (7.6 percent); transport, storage &
communication (5.4 percent); trade & repair of motor vehicles, motorcycles, personal &
household goods (5.6 percent); other services (7.5 percent) and real estate (5.3 percent).
The industry sector expanded 6.2 percent, following a 6.5 percent growth in the preceding
quarter. Output increases were seen in construction (16.1 percent), followed by electricity,
gas & water supply (5.0 percent) and manufacturing (4.0 percent). Meantime, mining &
quarrying went down by 1.1 percent, after a 6.9 percent drop in the prior quarter. Also,
agriculture, hunting, forestry & fishing contracted 0.4 percent, after a 0.3 percent expansion
in the previous period.[3]

Objectives of the Study

The objectives of this study are as follows:

xi | P a g e
 1. To update the information on machining sector that can be used as a planning
and programming tool to affect the development of the industry.
2. To provide an assessment of the machining sector in the Philippines in view of its
need for facilities upgrading, workforce skills development, and investment
incentives;
3. To identify the technical capability as well as issues and concerns of local
machining shops that should be addressed by the government; and
4. To determine the most appropriate programs to be implemented by concerned
organizations, public and private alike to significantly strengthen the local
machining sector.

Methodology

The MIRDC personnel conducted the survey through field interviews, phone interviews or
mailed questionnaire.
There are about 3,112 identified metalworking companies in the country, 1,151
shops (42 percent) are machine shops. Of the 1,350 identified shops in 2008, a total of 955
machine shops responded to the survey. Based on the next update done, between 2010 to
2012, 566 shops were surveyed. To maximize the benefits of the Center’s current
undertaking, considerations were given to the following concerns:

a. The current survey used the 2010-2012 list of machine shops surveyed and an
entirely new List of potential respondents that was prepared, sourced out from the
directories used and through the internet.

The number of machine shops operating within the geographical location of the
Philippines is the population. The sampling frame is the predetermined list of identified
machine shops generated by the survey team from the previous studies made for this
sector and the present information. However, if the shops identified are no longer existing,
replacement was made depending on the availability of the shop operators. The information
elicited through the survey comprised the primary data of the study as presented in
Attachment C.
The primary data were complemented by additional available information/data from
the various statistical sources and related industry studies.

xii | P a g e
 The supporting data are the secondary data which were taken from the compilations
of other government agencies such as the export and import figures from the Philippine
Statistics Authority (PSA) and compilations of published facts about machining-related
information.

The distribution of the potential respondents per region is as follows:

Sampling Design

There are about 1,227 identified machine shop/companies. The team used stratified
random sampling. 1,006 machining companies responded out of 1,227 potential
respondents. In stratification- the members of the population are divided into homogeneous
subgroups before sampling.
The strata are mutually exclusive and, in this sector, they are the regions. Every
element in the population is assigned to only one stratum. The strata are collectively
exhaustive: no population element can be excluded. Then simple random sampling is
applied within each stratum. This often improves the representation of the sample by
reducing sampling error.

1. The list of potential respondents was prepared taking into consideration the descriptive
and quantitative qualities of each per cluster of town or city based on previous
information.

Strata/Region No. of Shops %Proportion Sample Sample(Actual)

Region XIII 4 0.3 3 0
Total 1,227 100 1,003 1,006

2. Then for each cluster, simple random sampling was applied with replacement, if a
sampled company fails to be administered for survey due to inevitable circumstances,
another sample is drawn to replace that sample company, usually the company available
for survey.
3. Due to diverse characteristic of this industry, the samples was treated according to the
sector they are serving. In case they serve a multi-sectoral group, they are treated
according to their importance. The analysis of the data is stratified and would divide the
population into four groups, A-Machining as fabrication, B-Automotive/transport C-
Machining in Manufacturing and D-Repair services.

Designing the Survey Instruments

The survey questionnaire which is used as survey instrument is derived from the previous
survey form incorporating updates from comments made in our previous approved surveys
and was submitted for approval to Philippine Statistics Authority.

Scope and Limitation

This study covered the local machining sector of the metalworking industry in most of the
regions in the Philippines. However, the survey covered only the machining shops that
have existed for more than 1 year and limited the coverage of its questionnaire on the
xv | P a g e
General Information, Employment, Production Statistics, Equipment, Production Materials,
Business Outlook, Expectations and Future Plans.
The report included several subtopics: the general industry profile, the market
analysis, the technical profile, the problems encountered, the business outlook and the
expectations and future plans, conclusion and recommendation.
Under the general profile is also the industry background including the geographical
distribution, year of establishment, distribution of companies by type, by form of business
organization, by size according to assets and according to the number of employees, by
type of business activity, labor force distribution including the number of technical staff and
workers employed, number of machinists, machine operators, with and without formal
training competency level.
The market analysis discusses the local production data (based on disclosed data),
market share, export and import statistics including top commodities for export and import
and the top country suppliers and top export earners. The sectors served is greatly
important to identify potential markets in particular parts of the regions and provinces.
The technical profile describes the technical capability of the sector such as the
types of machining processes involved, related metalworking activities, the types of
equipment and the material information, including the quality control and assurance
methods employed by the shops.
The business outlook focuses on problems, plans and recommendation, the
problems encountered, the issues and concerns of the industry players, the plans for the
next five years, industry competitive strengths, industry competitive weaknesses and
recommendations. Also included are the government programs that directly answered the
needs of the industry.

Delimitation of the Study

Large companies frequently decline to be interviewed. This is true for all sectors especially
if these companies do not need the technical and financial assistance of the government.

Industry Profile

In 2017, there were 1,227 identified potential machine shops in the Philippines. Out of
1,063 existing machine shops, 1,006 respondents participated in the 2018 Machining
Industry Study. The respondents came from all the regions except Region XIII (CARAGA)
and Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

Geographical Distribution

Nearly a quarter of the total respondents involved in machining operations are concentrated
in CALABARZON (243 shops or 24 percent) catering to automotive
assemblers/manufacturers and other firms situated inside industrial estates and economic
zones. NCR also caters to the broad demand of industry as it was the economic center of
the country. The rest of the shops are distributed in Central Luzon, Ilocos Region, Central
Visayas and other regions as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Regional Distribution of Machine Shops

Year of Establishment

The machining industry in the country started early 1900s and the earliest machine shop
[4]
recorded was established on 1870 . The year of establishment is the year when the
company started its operation. As to the change of name or transfer of location, the year
1|Page
established is recorded on the first year of its operation based on the previous name and
regardless of transfer of location. Up to the present, the machining industry continuously
grow. Figure 2 reflects that the 203 machine shops established from 1990 to 1999 is twice
in number as compared to the prior decade. There are 37 shops (4 percent) that are
already more than 50 years in existence.

Figure 2. Year of Establishment of Machine Shops

Form of Business Organization

The Machining industry is dominated by 792 shops (79 percent) formed as single
proprietorship, as indicated in Figure 3. 188 companies (19 percent) were organized as
corporation and 17 shops (2 percent) as partnership.

The other forms of business organization specified by the 6 respondents (1 percent)

are academe and NGO. Academe serves as training ground for technical skills such as
machining.

Type of Economic Organization

Figure 4 shows that more than half of the respondents (64 percent) house their services
under a single establishment type. It was also noted that 54 shops (5 percent) are branch-
type and 7 (1 percent) are categorized as ancillary unit.

Type of Business Activity

As shown in Figure 5, majority of the machining business is operating as independent with

926 shops (92 percent), followed by in-house or captive, 50 shops (5 percent); and parent
company, 32 shops (3 percent). Independent shops are stand-alone businesses that offer
products and services to a wide range of customers. The in-house or captive shops and
parent company shops do not accept outside jobs. They only cater to their own
requirements.
The parent company is a company which owns or operates a number of other
companies, known as subsidiaries. A subsidiary is a corporation with its own charter and is
not a division of the controlling company. A parent company provides the machining
requirements of their mother company. Due to higher quality standards of manufacturing
firms, most large companies can sustain both type of business activity. Out of the 188
corporations that were organized, only 12 have parent companies and thus 12 are
considered subsidiaries, some of them are foreign subsidiaries.

Figure 6 shows the type of business the respondent-shops are engaged in. As shown,
majority (793 shops, 79 percent) of the respondents are into jobbing services, 133 shops
(13 percent) offer both jobbing and manufacturing and 80 shops (8 percent) are into
manufacturing. The survey says only 213 respondents (21 percent) are into manufacturing,
which in the Philippine set-up of machining business is a complicated thing.

Looking at Exhibit 3 , manufacturing is diverse, especially for the machining sector. It is
included in the upper middle of R&D, Labor, Capital, Energy, Trade Intensity and Value
density in the groups of Global innovation, Regional processing, Energy resource, and
Global technologies.

Initial Capitalization

The capital that was spent before starting the operation of a machining business is the
initial capitalization. Table 1 displays the initial capitalization of the machining sector. As
displayed, most of the shops started with initial capital of P1,000,000 and below. The
numbers supported that putting up a machining business is not capital intensive as
compared to other metalworking businesses.

Classification of Business

According to the 2017 PSA Annual List of Establishments, 99.56% of the business
enterprises in the Philippines are operating as micro, small and medium enterprises
(MSMEs) and contribute to almost 62.9% of total employment. Table 2 shows the MSME
classification.

Source: SEPO, 2012

Figures 7 and 8 elaborates the size classification of machining businesses according to

capital and number of employees, respectively.
In terms of assets, Figure 7 shows that 708 respondents (70 percent) have a
capitalization of less than P3,000,000.00. The small and medium-scale enterprise stood at
175 (18 percent) and 92 (9 percent), respectively. Only 32 (3 percent) belongs to the large
enterprise category which has an asset of more than P100M.
On the classification of machining shops based on employment, Figure 8 shows the
dominance of micro enterprises in terms of number of shops and employees. 660 (65
percent) of the respondents have less than nine employees only. 305 (30 percent) belong
to small scale; 26 (3 percent) medium enterprises while 17 (2 percent) are large
enterprises. As gathered during the survey interview, there are shops operating as a one-
man shop.

Figure 7. Classification According to Assets (Peso)

 Figure 8. Classification According to Employment

Employment

Employment in machining companies is the total number of persons who work in or for the
establishment including working proprietors, active business partners and unpaid family
workers, as well as persons working outside the company when paid by and under the
control of the company, such as sales agent, service engineers and repair and
maintenance personnel. Production workers dominate the machining workforce. Production
workers directly perform machining and other manufacturing process that includes machine
operators, maintenance workers, non-skilled/utility and other skilled employees.
Engineers/supervisors, quality control inspector and research and development (R & D)
personnel also belongs to this group who supervises and monitors operations. Non-
production workers are those engaged in executive, administrative and financial activities.
Table 3 shows the distribution of non-production personnel according to gender. The
ratio of male to female is 3:2.

Figure 9 shows the distribution of company respondents according to production and
gender. Production workers (also referred to as manual workers or blue collar workers)
generally include those employees who are engaged in fabrication, assembly and related
activities, material handling, warehousing and shipping, maintenance and repair, janitorial
and guard services, auxiliary production (such as power plants), and other services closely
related to the above activities. Working supervisors are generally included, while
apprentices and other trainees are generally excluded.[7]
The male gender is a majority in production personnel but for non-production
personnel, there is quite an equal number between male and female gender, while
contractual is dominated by the male gender.

Figure 9. Distribution of Company Personnel According to Gender

Employment Status of Workers

Permanent employees are regular employees or the directly employed, work for an
employer and are paid directly by that employer. Permanent (regular) employees do not
have a predetermined end date of employment, while contractuals are workers who signs
contracts first before working.

9|Page
 The difference in these types of position is not only the absence or presence of a contract,
but also the legal and tax implications.
Table 4 shows the classification of the company personnel according to the status of
employment, whether they are permanent or contractual as well as whether they belong to
the male or female gender. This table points out that managers, owners, supervisors and
engineers are dominated by male while female genders tops administrative position.

Training and development are important for the firms to improve job performance and to
help the workforce acquire and improve their technical skills [8].

The pool of machining manpower is dominated by employees with formal training.

The difference in the number of employees with formal and in-house training is relatively
small (Figure 10). In-house training refers to the training provided by the employer within
the firm’s premises. External training is a training provided by external training institutions.[9]

Figure 10. Distribution of Company Personnel According to Training

Appendix C indicates the distribution of production personnel according to formal, in-house

or external training classified according to gender. As indicated, the most trained personnel
are the machine operators who are directly involved in producing the jobs or services
required by the customers and are basically male in gender. Formal training could be in-
house training or external training. In-house training is provided by the employer within the
firm’s premises while external training is provided by outside training institution.[10]
Most machining employees are starting to develop experience as they are under the
5 to 10 year-bracket (Figure 11). Appendix D shows the breakdown of the position and the
number of years of experience of employees.

Level of Skills

Managerial skills complemented by desired personnel performance determine the good

future of the company. Figure 12 presents the distribution of personnel according to the
level of skills for the year 2017.
The figure shows that employees’ work performance are evaluated as very
satisfactory. Most of the personnel fall under the Very Satisfactory rating especially the
engineers/supervisors and machine operators while the managers and executives belong
to the Excellent level. There are still few (<0.1%) who are rated as poor.

Assistance Program: DOST SETUP

The Department of Science and Technology Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading

Program (DOST-SETUP) is a financial assistance services for SMEs involving acquisition
of new equipment or facilities with zero interest payable in equal monthly payments to the
DOST. 31 percent of the 1,006 total respondents affirmed that they availed of the services
of the DOST -SETUP while 67 percent said that they have not heard about this program. Of
the 31 percent that availed, 14 percent revealed the amount they availed. The total amount

12 | P a g e

ISO Certification/Accreditation

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a support system to enhance

the quality assurance of a particular process of a company. With ISO certification, the
company assures its customers that the products and services of a particular company
meets their requirements.
Figure 14 presents the distribution of companies with ISO certification. Only 6
percent of the respondents subscribe to the international standard. The other certification of
the respondents is ISO 14000 and 14001.
The figures below can be perceived that ISO 9000 certification or quality management is
not fully understood and appreciated in the Philippines. [11]

Figure 14. Distribution of Companies With ISO Certification

Research and Development

Research and Development (R & D) constitutes creative work undertaken on a systematic

basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and
society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to create new or improved products,
processes, services and devise new applications.[8] These important activities for the

14 | P a g e
organization to innovate so as to create a product of their own or make improvements in
their technological and economic performance, and, thus find a niche that will make a
difference in their business. Figure 15 reflects the research activities of the respondents. As
reflected, 71 company respondents or 7 percent out of 1,006 total respondents have been
engaged in Research and Development activities. But out of this 71 respondents, only 24
provided the values of their R & D expenditures. 90 percent of the total respondents are not
engaged in R & D activities.
Based on the disclosed data on research and development expenditures, of the 24
respondents, 7 are from IV-A, 5-NCR and 2 each for Regions III, VII, and VIII and one
each for Regions 1, II, IV-B and V. However, when we look at the investments, NCR tops
the expenditures with 31 percent and Calabarzon second with 23.4 and Region III comes
close with 22.8 percent. Region II followed with 16.2 percent, Cebu region with 3.6 percent
and Davao with only 2.1 percent. Further, the sector is estimated to have incurred a total of
P55,393,500 R&D expenditure.
Low R&D intensity can be partly attributed to limited resources allotted for R&D activities
both from the public and private sector [12].
Figure 16 shows the advancements in machining industry through development of new
products and processes. Out of 1,006 respondents, there are only 17 respondents (2
percent) who developed new products and 10 respondents (one percent) that innovated
their processes.

Industry Analysis

As seen on this industry profile, majority (65 percent) of respondent-shops are micro-sized
business with initial capitalization of less than P1M. 79 percent performs jobbing services,
while 21 percent are in line manufacturing. Some companies are run by a single person
only. This shows instability of the business. Jobbing is seasonal work.
Skilled metalworkers are in demand not only here but overseas. Skilled workers of a
micro-sized company are prone to poaching from bigger companies. Medium and large-
sized companies can afford to hire skilled employees (from micro-sized shops) because
they can provide better compensation and additional benefits. However, it is not a
guarantee that the skilled personnel will stay with that company forever. Some machine
operators stay for at least 5 years not only to develop their skills but to attain a minimum of
5-year experience to qualify for overseas jobs. Another human resource issue is work
values. Loyalty is not a standard.
As to the external pressures, the suppliers have no control over the machining
industry because there are many distributors and local suppliers of raw and production
materials. Majority of those in the repair services are accepting jobs with customer supplied
materials. There are cities that have a price control on metalworking and repair services, so
that the industry will follow what is only allowed, but to those shops or companies that are
independent in pricing usually charge customers in such a way that they would ensure to
get the job.

Market Profile

Product Lines and Services

Machined products could be fabricated metals. Metal fabrication plays a large role in
creating parts for mass consumption. The mass production of products like screws, cans,
cutlery, pipes and pans all fall into this category. These products tend to have consistent
requirements and a wider tolerance error. This means that the parts can differ in small ways
from the original design but still function as expected.
In general, the real value of engine reconditioning companies lies with the
knowledge, skills, and experience of the technicians completing the work. An ideal firm will
communicate effectively the refurbishment requirements including what parts will be
replaced, what parts will be re-engineered, what parts will be reworked, and how the
products will be finished. A warranty for the work performed ought to be provided, as an
engine failure costs more than the parts and the money and the service fees. When an
engine fails, it costs time, lost productivity, and can impact on relationships with a client
who went through the trouble of refurbishing an engine only to experience a repeat failure.
The general classification of products and services in the machining sectors are: engine
reconditioning, industrial parts fabrication, machine rebuilding, repair services and others.
Figure 17 shows the type of products and services provided by the machining sector. As
shown, majority of the total number of respondent-companies are into repair services,
followed by shops that caters to industrial parts fabrication, engine reconditioning and
machine rebuilding. Others include the following: training, awards/decorations/medals,
maintenance, marine engineering, etc.

Annual Production

Table 5 shows the Annual Production of the Machining Sector. As shown, the annual
production of the machining sector for 2015 to 2017 is robustly increasing, according to 78
percent of the respondents.

Export

Export in international trade is a good or service produced in one country that is bought by
someone in another country. Table 6 shows the export of machined products from 2013 to
2017. As shown, the trend of export per FOB value in dollars is unstable, it means that
though the value increased significantly from 738 M in 2013 to about 1.17 B in 2014, but
experienced a drop to 968 M in 2015, then decreased further to 757 M in 2016. However, in
2017, exports rose to 872 M.

Market Served

The market served are the particular group of client or customer with the same line of
business. Figure 20 presents the market or sectors served by the machining industry. As
presented, the top 3 sectors are: automotive, construction and metalworking that the
machining respondents served. As presented in the figure below, automotive (647
responses), construction (372 responses) and metalworking (362 responses). Others
include semicon/electronics (82), mining (28), appliance manufacturing (29), and etc.

 Figure 20. Sectors Served

Market Analysis

Companies or shops that are run by a single person only and that cater to jobbing service,
have no customer forecast. Most micro-sized machine shops rely on over the counter
inquiries for jobs. They live on day to day, week to week work load. The acquisition of jobs
or work is based on “customer relationship.” Customer loyalty is important. A satisfactory
work can turn into a referral job. However, the same business situation creates stiff
competition. That is why most are hiring contractual employees instead of regular
employees. Future expansion for this type of companies is uncertain. In some cases, when
business is not good, they will sell it to the next entrepreneur or new management. This is
probably the case of frequent change of Company registered names.
For bigger companies, such as medium and large-sized companies with 125
respondents (15 percent), they have established themselves with bigger project-clients.
The work loading is more stable. They can demand for customer forecast and can enter
into longer business arrangements. They have quality systems and can qualify to supply
multinational clients.
Construction is a booming industry. Unlike in previous studies, the construction
sector is included in the top 5 (5th place). Presently, the scenario is different wherein the
construction sector is now second based on the survey results.
Using the Annual Production for 3 years and categorizing according to sectors
served, the automotive sector declined in 2017.

21 | P a g e
 The data was stratified and the total respondents were divided into four groups,
namely: A-Machining as fabrication, B-Automotive/transport C-Machining in Manufacturing
and D-Repair services.

Figure 21. Analysis of Income, by Machining Groups

For the Automotive Sector:

It is notable that only the automotive group has a fluctuating trend, while the other 3 groups
have increasing trends. The possible explanations are the following:

a. China made spare parts for assembly are less expensive.

b. The effect of the closing of one automotive company, i.e. Ford, that transferred
operations in Thailand. The closing was due to disapproved extension of tax holiday:
a PEZA benefit according to one of our respondents (survey interview dated April 23,
2018) and based on PEZA report was felt only in 2015. [14]
The tax holiday is only for a period of 4-6 years for non-pioneers and 6-8 years for
pioneering companies.
When the company used up this period that they enjoyed tax holiday, the
company need to pay the 5% tax based on gross income, otherwise, the
company has to transfer their plant to other countries.

The repair services category has 670 shops that are operating, however if income is
to be examined, industrial parts fabrication has higher income during the 3 years. It is

22 | P a g e
advisable for these repair machine shops to upgrade and diversify into industrial parts
fabrication to generate more income.

Table 8 shows the annual sales distribution for 2015-2017. Majority of the bulk of
machine shops are enjoying annual sales of 1M to less than 10M. However, an average of
91 shops (9 percent) incurred an annual sales of 10 M and above.

*Note: multiple responses

According to one of the participants during the FGD, the top 3 problems are: Human
resource - Attitude problems, absenteeism and lack of skills; Equipment and Raw Materials
are actually the same problems encountered by their company. This was also confirmed by
the representatives of two other companies.

23 | P a g e
 The income distribution for Calabarzon (see Table 9) shows that majority of the
micro-sized companies are rendering repair services, but their cumulative income as a
group is not comparable to the automotive and fabrication groups, which are the top
earners in Region IV-A. As shown, Region IV-A is the top performer wherein the Industrial
Fabrication and Manufacturing Groups dominated the four (4) machining categories.

Technical Profile

Machining, a very common and convenient metalworking process, is the cutting of raw
materials through the use of different specialized or conventional equipment in order to
achieve a desired shape and size. This involves 3 major operations classification, namely:
turning, drilling and milling. Other operations included boring, sawing, shaping, grinding,
and broaching.
Processes

Turning is lathe operation classification wherein

the workpiece is placed on the chuck and rotated
to remove unwanted parts through the use of a
cutting tool.

Drilling is a machining operation which includes

creating holes in the workpiece through the use of
a drill.

Milling is one of the major machining

operations. It is most versatile process that
remove unwanted parts of an asymmetric
workpiece.[15]

24 | P a g e
Equipment

Specialized machining equipment are advanced equipment, such as computer-numerically

controlled (CNC) lathes and copy lathes, copy milling, wire cut or die-sinker Electric
Discharge Machines (EDMs), and machining centers.

Conventional machining equipment are lathes, milling, boring, grinding and drilling
machines. Also included are sawing, shaping and broaching. Lathe machine is a machine
used in the turning process.

Figure 22 shows the quantity of the basic and other advanced equipment used by
machine shop respondents. The figure shows there are 5 basic equipment and most
common is the lathe machine. For other equipment, some of them are utilized in engine
rebuilding, others are advanced equipment, which were acquired usually by SMEs and
large-sized companies, such as CNC milling, Vertical Machining Center and Electric
Discharge Machines, Shaper and CNC Lathe.

Raw Materials Consumption

The raw materials used in machining are plates, sheets and bars; shafts and rods; grinding
material; mild steel scrap, stainless steel, ductile iron, and tool steel or CRS. Table 15
shows the utilization of the raw materials by the machining respondent-shops. As shown,
the commonly used materials are in the forms of plates, sheets and bars with 136 million
kilograms per year as disclosed by 29 percent of the responses for this particular question.
Few responses to the question on raw material consumption was observed, the reason is
that the companies do not estimate the volume in weight or tons and record their consumed
materials as purchased, i.e. in pieces or lots or in bulk.

Other Metalworking Processes Employed in Machining Firms

Figure 23 indicates the other metalworking processes employed. As indicated, welding and
die and mold operations are the most common processes used by machine shops as they
are also both complementary to machining operations.
[16]
Welding is a technique for joining metallic parts through heat application. While
the die and mold are processes to produce material into desired shape using a media (e.g.
die, mold).
Aside from welding, the other metalworking processes employed are only minimal.

Figure 23. Other Metalworking Processes Employed

Industry Analysis

1. Equipment needs to be upgraded. Most micro companies have outdated equipment;

this is evidenced by low capitalization and low income. They usually acquire
equipment from aftermarket sellers brought in overseas.
2. Materials is a major issue in the industry. Besides unavailability, the available
materials sometimes have quality issues. Price is dictated by traders. This is a
bigger issue outside NCR.
3. As for bigger companies, they should start to adapt new and highly advanced
technologies. The world is talking about Industry 4.0 and IoT, but most of the
machining companies, even those in existence for more than 20 years, are not yet
aware of this trend.

31 | P a g e
 4. Adaption to new Technologies

Majority of the Metalworking companies still relies on the old business model of
jobbing. There is no strategic (long-term) planning. It is recommended that
educating these companies should be supported.

In the last 3 years, suggestions to adapt to new emerging technologies have

been made by the consultants to his co-business partners. This is supplemented by
lectures from overseas experts during the General membership meetings. The
consultant painstakingly lobbied to include new technologies on the Metalworking
Exhibition and Plenary Session like Industry 4.0, Internet of Things (IoT), and
Additive Manufacturing and its application to local industry.

Prospects and Trends

Machining is any of the various processes in which a piece of raw material is cut into a
desired final shape and size by a controlled material-removal process. It is also a part of the
manufacture of many metal products. There are many processes involved in the machining
operations, such as grinding, turning, milling, drilling, boring, planing, shaping, among
others. [17]
The MIRDC conducted a nationwide industry survey of the machining sector
involving about 1,227 identified respondents. Only 82 percent of the identified respondents
were surveyed because some of them were closed, declined to be surveyed, cannot be
located, and others are just welding and fabrication shops. The survey also disclosed that
the machining industry seems to continuously grow because of the additional 613 shops
(61 percent) new establishments identified at the time of survey. These shops are firmly
operating despite the many economic problems encountered, e.g. high prices in the market,
inability to sustain technological upgrading due to lack of capital, and limited technical-
know-how due to fast turn-over of skilled workers.

67 percent of the total respondents are optimistic about the status of the machining
industry two to five years from now as seen in Figure 24 (page 35). The government
initiative to modernize the PUJ jeepneys brings positive foresight with the perception that
sooner or later the machining industry will boom. This government project will put new and
safer jeepneys on the streets and phase out the old and poorly maintained ones. This was
initially introduced by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB)
32 | P a g e
in 2015. According to the LTFRB, the agency seeks to minimize outdated (and almost
lethal) jeepneys in the streets, boost passenger safety, and prevent pollution by imposing
an age limit for transport vehicles that are allowed to operate[18]. If the said initiative of the
government will be fully implemented, some of the respondents are hoping volumes of jobs
will be realized in terms of machining, fabrication, welding and other metalworking
processes. The PUJ modernization program is one big project of the government that
the machining industry players are aspiring for. Another prospect of the machine shop
owners are the continuous fabrication of industrial parts from industrial machinery,
manufacturing and repair of farm implements, machine rebuilding, and engine
reconditioning that come from the trucking and automotive sectors.

With this perceived potential business, the respondent sees an upbeat future in
terms of increased volume of products/services for the machining industry. Among the
economic sectors, industry and services were on the downtrend in the same quarter in
2016; but the agriculture sector rebounded in the same period[19]. While the growth of
agriculture is optimistic based on generally positive outlook of rice and corn production in
the first quarter of 2018, aggressiveness in pursuing reforms in the sector is very much
needed.[20]

*Source: “Transforming Lives through Science and Technology,”, ”SET-UP Success,” https://businessmirror.com.ph/setup-elevates-
msmes-to-higher-level/, and https://news.oneexpert.gov.ph/featues

One aggressive move that the metalworking industry can do is to find niche in
assisting the agricultural sector find its way to benchmark best practices and take a “make
over”. Though the Philippines has generally experienced some challenges in the
agricultural sector, it is always positive outlook of the Filipinos that cause everyone to look

33 | P a g e
up to advanced countries in terms of agritechnology and benchmark their best practices.
Our agricultural lands have to be transformed according to the new technology that we
have now.
These devices and metal instruments which are placed strategically around the
fields will be able to monitor what is happening in the fields. IoT, drones, laser and camera
are some of the facilities that are very useful in the farmlands. Robotics would improve
productivity and would result in higher and faster yields. For these technologies to
materialize, the MIRDC should support the metalworking industry especially that they have
to prove for them to be able to show the sector that they are capable to compete. As our
population continues to grow, our agricultural methods must grow with it. It’s time to take
advantage of the technology we have at our disposal to put food on our table and create
peace of mind for our farmers and the public as well.

Business Perception and Outlook

Running a business is not an easy task because various risks, problems issues and
concerns are encountered daily. Managers seem to perceive either a conducive or a critical
business environment and signal a “go” or “no go” to particular projects and jobs depending
on the present situations.
Figure 24 presents the general machining business perception of the Machining
Sector. As presented, the respondents are still optimistic with about 67 percent of the total
respondents predicting that machining industry will go far, even if they are experiencing stiff
competition, lack of skilled workers, increase of prices of production materials, fast turn-
over of personnel, as well as insufficient jobs.

To boost productivity and effectiveness in the shop floor, efficiency is important in all
levels of industrial production. It is one of the rudiments on how to improve and to at-tain
the high quality of production.

Furthermore, efficiency in production can be acquired in terms of manpower

efficiency, machine efficiency, utilities, among others. In manpower efficiency, the operators
must be abreast in the necessary technical-know-how in their assigned machining
operations, such as: planing, reaming, tapping, broaching, sawing, shaping, milling,
grinding, drilling, turning, boring, and other related operations. When the production
capability of workers, the ability of shops to produce more than the expected also decline.

Problems, Issues and Concerns

There are so many issues and concerns that were raised by the respondents, but perennial
problems need to be deeply analyzed to be able to eliminate them completely. Figure 26
reveals the problems encountered by respondent-shops. As revealed, 27 percent of the
total respondents encountered some employee-related problems such as absenteeism,
tardiness and under time. Jobs are sometimes not within the required specifications.
Operators just leave the shops without any permission. As expected, some leaves the
company to look for better compensation.

Figure 26. Problems Experienced by Machine shops

Commitment and sense of obligation in their field of work are the leading values that play a
significant role in the production arena. One of the respondent shops is giving incentives
such as monthly incentive for no absent, performance incentive for every 15 days, and
production incentive given on a weekly basis for those employees who delivered their
duties and responsibilities very satisfactorily. Similarly, machine efficiency is also an
important aspect to consider as machines are essential in production. The survey revealed
it is the second top most problem. All workpieces to be done accurately rely on machine
efficiency. Improper maintenance of machines will result to low quality of products and
delivery commitment might be hampered. Payment of bills, such as telephone, water, and
electric bills must be updated to enjoy continued services. Failure in terms of utilities could
result to idle time, late deliveries, production losses, affecting the target income of the shop.

36 | P a g e
In this case, proper monitoring of machines, manpower, and utilities needs serious
considerations to ensure optimum usage of these resources to lessen all undesirable
expenses due to machine, manpower, and utilities problems.

Problems/Observations during the survey

In the NCR, the machine shops are mostly renting their office and shop space. Small shops
are relying on jobbing works. In Reg. III, specifically in Bataan, most of the shops lost their
clients when the Americans left both Subic and Clark military bases. Some of them are
already recovering due to increase of business activity in power plants and industrial zones.
Some machine shop owners are waiting for the processing of their DOST-SETUP financial
assistance shop owners who are applying for renewal. We also observed that Regional
offices are very active in assisting the machine shops/companies. In Zambales, Korean-
partnered shops are thriving. Some small shops have not recovered yet. Some shops in
Subic are planning to move to Bataan or close shop including a DOST- SETUP beneficiary.
The situation is not healthy in business because there are a lot of expenses to take care of
especially in the case of those who are renting and those whose equipment are also
obsolete and no longer efficient.

Some of the problems mentioned by the respondents were:

On Human resource:

- Employees leave for abroad once they acquired needed skills; employees establish their
own machining business and compete with their previous employers

On Equipment:

- Businesses use outdated machines that limit the capacity to accept jobs

On Materials:

- Locally sourced raw materials are sub-standard

- The inavailability of raw materials is always an issue, and machining shops in the regions
experience outsourcing difficulties.

SWOT
Figure 27 presents the strengths and opportunities of the respondent-shops. As presented,
good reputation of the company (82 percent), quality products/services (81 percent),
reliable delivery (51 percent), and upgraded facilities (41 percent) are the leading strengths
that ensure sustainable operation of the company. Other factors to be considered are the
financial resources, expanding market, marketing strategy, new market, new technologies,
product development, established safety procedures, among others. The identified
strengths must be enhanced to further nurture a good standing in the market, while so that
opportunities must be pursued to create more jobs, compete in new/expanding market, gain
more profit and widen the business horizons of the company.

The main goal of a business is to earn profit. Profitability is the reason for being of every
company. Weaknesses/threats affect the profitability of a company and impact negatively
on the company. Shutdown, closure, diverting operations into different lines of business
are some of the adverse effects of weaknesses and threats that are not addressed.

Figure 28 below presents the weaknesses and threats of the respondent-shops. As

presented, the top response is stiff competition with 28 percent share, followed by lack of
customers (26 percent) and limited capacity (23 percent).

Figure 28. Weaknesses and Threats

Lack of customers is the end result of stiff competition. It involves the products/services
offered, as well as pricing of the products and services. On Limited capacity, some of the
respondents have few machines and are outmoded. Limited capacity is one of the reasons
why shops have few customers. On the issue of difficulty in sourcing materials, this is
particularly experienced by respondents who are operating in the provinces or regions.
Highly-priced raw materials entail high cost of production inputs. Scarcity of skilled workers
particularly machinist is also a threat. Once workers are exposed in machining and gained
all the technical-know-how in the machining operation, machinists then leave the company
for greener pasture. They stay in the company as training ground. In Mindanao region
particularly in General Santos City (Region XII), one of the shops is interested in Production
Planning and Control (PPC) Seminar, Seminar on Machining Operations, and Product
Costing Seminar. Accordingly, the aim is to establish standard prices of their products and
services, to enhance the skills of their workers, to have more knowledge in monitoring and
scheduling of jobs, and to gain a better understanding of pricing of products/services.

39 | P a g e
Expectation/Future Actions of the Establishment

Decline in business are experienced due to various factors, such as natural calamities that
hit the country, insufficient financial resources, lack of customers, stiff competition in
business, high cost of production, and other related business problems.
Table 17 shows the current business expectation of respondent-shops. As shown,
respondents believe that business will prosper from 2018 and beyond; likewise, the
machining industry will have an upbeat future. Volume of activities, business condition,
average selling, and number of people employed are perceived to increase. Metal
Fabrication and machining of farm implements and other industrial equipment, machining of
jobs for industrial establishment/machineries, and metalworking jobs related to the
modernization of some of our transport system will continue to flourish.

On the other hand, many shops find it hard time to predict or forecast the growth of the
industry because of the uncontrolled situations. Majority of the shop owners are saying that

40 | P a g e
some jobs are seasonal. For jobs related to agriculture, peak season is from June to
October which is the harvest season and lean season is the months of January, February,
November, and December where incoming jobs accepted are scarce. In terms of import-
export, 3 percent of the respondents are into exports while 3 percent of the respondents are
importing. As indicated, import and export activities of the respondent-shops are very
minimal because of the effect of competition which is a major factor for the survival of the
business.

Expansion Plans

Several respondents have plans and programs on expanding the level of production with its
machining capacity. Tables 19 and 20 reveal the business plans for 2018 and 2019-2023,
respectively. As revealed, majority of the machine shops which are classified as micro
(capital of P3M or less) are targeting to enlarge their capacity in terms of production and to
expand their capability to compete globally in the near future. Further, the respondents will
gain the opportunity to accept different types of job. Furthermore, some machine shops
have already established their branches; others are planning to put up branches in Regions
II, VIII, VII, and in NCR. This is to broaden market horizon, accommodate new customers,
and to have easy access with their regular customers. The survey disclosed that some
respondents are relocating their business in areas along the highway wherein the customer
could easily get access of their services. Others are planning to increase the products and

41 | P a g e
services being offered like engine reconditioning, automotive services (refacing), industrial
parts fabrication, and equipment fabrication.
Upgrading of equipment is also one of the concerns of the machining industry.
Several respondents are interested on the program of the Department of Science and
Technology (DOST) entitled, “Small Enterprise Technology Project” (SET-UP). This
program is a nationwide strategy to encourage and assist MSMEs in adopting technological
innovations to enhance operational efficiency and boost productivity and competitiveness.
Through the said program, respondents are planning to acquire CNC machines, lathe
machines, milling machine, CNC plasma cutter, crankshaft grinder, shaper grinder, honing
machine, refacing machine, and reboring machine. By availing the DOST-SETUP program,
the acquisition of needed equipment will be addressed. Consequently, the capacity and
capability of the shops will improve. Moreover, more jobs will be accepted resulting to larger
profits.

Other Issues and Concerns

A major concern for the business is continuity. Majority of the companies have ageing
leadership. Most of these companies have no second-generation successor. Young
generation has little interest to continue their family business.

Fortunately, there are new breed of entrepreneurs who resigned from their previous
occupation and put up their own machining companies. There are upside and downside to
this situation. The upside is, there are companies who can carry the demand from those
dying companies. The downside is, the same cycle is repeated with new companies but
with no long-term strategic planning or goals.

are working hand-in-hand with each other to help the metals, engineering and allied
industries in the operations of their business.

2. The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) launched the Small Enterprises
Technology Upgrading Program (SET-UP) as a government response for more
focused assistance programs for MSMEs. SET-UP is a nationwide strategy to
encourage and assist MSMEs in adopting technological innovations to enhance
operational efficiency and boost productivity and competitiveness. The program aims
to empower firms to address technical problems through technology transfer and
technological interventions. Such technology-based solutions are expected to
improve productivity through superior product quality, human resources development,
cost minimization and waste management, and other operation-related activities.
Industry sectors that may avail of the SETUP include: Metals and Engineering; food
processing; furniture, gift, toys, housewares, handicrafts, natural fibers/ and Dyes;
marine and aquatic resources; and horticulture (Cut Flowers, Fruits and High Value
Crops). MIRDC is an agency of the DOST that directly supports the metals
engineering, and allied industries to enhance its competitive advantage with the
provision of professional management and technical expertise on the training of
engineers and technicians; information exchange; quality control and testing; research
and development; technology transfer; and business economics advisory services.

43 | P a g e
 Testimonial: Based on the DOST-assisted company, Agri-Component Machineries
and Construction Corp. (AMCC), the company encountered problems with limited
production capacity on fabricated parts and assembly due to lack of fabrication
equipment, so AMCC availed of DOST’s technical assistance and consultation
programs back in 2012. Among the interventions implemented were the following: 1)
technology innovation through mechanized equipment like hydraulic press brake; 2)
trainings on Metal Classification and Identification, Machine Shop Operation and
Safety, TIG/MIG Welding Technology, Introduction to Electroplating Processes and
Business Management; and 3) consultancy services on Manufacturing Productivity
Extension (MPEX) and Energy Audit.

3. The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) is the

government agency tasked to manage and supervise technical education and skills
development in the Philippines. It was created by virtue of Republic Act 7796,
otherwise known as the “Technical Education and Skills Development Act of 1994.”
The said Act integrated the functions of the former National Manpower and Youth
Council (NMYC), the Bureau of Technical-Vocational Education of the Department of
Education, Culture and Sports (BTVE-DECS) and the Office of Apprenticeship of the
Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).

One of the programs of TESDA is the Technical-Vocational Education and

Training (TVET). It is the education or training process that it involves, in addition to
general education, the study of technologies and related sciences and acquisition of
practical skills relating to occupations in various sectors of economic life and social
life, comprises formal (organized programs as part of the school system) and non-
formal (organized classes outside the school system) approaches. (UNESCO).[22]

4. The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), attached to the Department of

Trade and Industry, is a government agency tasked to promote investments, extend
assistance, register, grant incentives to and facilitate the business operations of
investors in export-oriented manufacturing and service facilities inside selected areas
throughout the country proclaimed by the President of the Philippines as PEZA Special
Economic Zones.

44 | P a g e
 It oversees and administers incentives to developers/operators of and locators
in world-class, ready-to-occupy, environment-friendly, secured and competitively priced
Special Economic Zones.[23]

Private Sector

5. The Metalworking Industries Associations of the Philippines (MIAP) is a trade

association of firms engaged in metalworking and related activities that was organized
in 1978 to answer the need for a body that can represent the metalworking industry
sector. This association can provide services/assistance to its members in order to
effectively compete both in the local and global industry arena, and stand as the
backbone of the various industries. It is national organization composed of
provincial/city chapters. As of January 2013, the association summed up to 271
members composing of 15 chapters; at present, there are 75 active members in Metro
Manila and 170 active members nationwide.
Any firm or enterprise duly registered under Philippine laws that are engaged in,
or involved with, metalworking activities and interested in contributing to the
development and growth of the metalworking sector can be admitted as a member of
any MIAP chapter upon approval of the chapter board of directors/trustees.[24]

6. Meralco Foundation, Inc. - From being an investment holding company in 1973, MFI
evolved into its true purpose as a fully operating educational foundation that provides
funding and vocational-technical education to Filipinos. The foundation implements this
mission with its operating arm, the MFI Technological Institute (formerly referred as the
Meralco Foundation Institute), with its flagship programs: the Industrial Technician
Program (ITP), a post-secondary, non-degree course; and the MFI Training, Technical
Short Courses, Agricultural/Agri-preneurship Programs and Human Resource
Development Programs.[25]

Conclusion

1. The present status of the machining sector in the Philippines was presented in the
assembly of the metalworking industry held on November 28, 2018 at the Germanium
Seminar Room, Gold Building, MIRDC, Taguig City. The situation of the machining
sector in the Philippines is updated as follows:
45 | P a g e
 a. Industry Profile
There are 37 shops that are already operating for more than 50 years and the growth
of the sector in “2010 and onwards” is more than thrice its establishment of machine
shops in “1980’s.” 792 shops that operate as single proprietorship while 188
companies as corporation; more than half (64 percent) of the respondents housed
under single establishment type and there are 54 shops that are branch type while
one percent is categorized as ancillary unit; 92 percent is independent; out of 213
shops that are into manufacturing, 133 shops are also into jobbing, and the rest are
into jobbing. Majority of the companies started their machining businesses with a
capitalization of P1M and below; it follows then, that most (70 percent) of these
businesses still have “not more than P3M” assets and only 3 percent belongs to the
large-size with “more than P100M.” 660 shops have “less than nine employees,” 305
belongs to small scale, and only 2 percent belongs to large-size. There are 3,326
employees including executive managers and admin employees, while production
personnel are estimated to reach 14,941. The most trained personnel are the machine
operators and are basically male in gender. Most machining employees have started
to develop experience as they are “under the 5 to 10 year-bracket,” and most of them
fall under very satisfactory, together with the engineers and supervisors.
There are 31 percent of the total respondents that availed of the financial
assistance of the DOST, the total amount availed by those who disclose their loan,
amounted to P147M. 6 percent of the total respondents are certified to either 9001
and 14,001; 7 percent have engaged in the R & D, but out of these 71 respondents,
only 24 provided R & D expenditures. Hence, looking at expenditures, NCR tops the
list; Calabarzon, second and Region III comes close at third. There are only 17
respondents that developed their new products and 10 that innovated their processes.

b. Market Profile
The local market is booming. As to type of products and services provided, majority
(670) are into repair services, followed by shops that caters to industrial parts
fabrication (571), engine reconditioning (248) and machine rebuilding (112). Others
(79) include the following: training, awards/decorations/medals, maintenance, marine
engineering, etc. Top export was in 2014 that reached about 1.2 billion dollars. Top
export destinations are USA, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand and China with top

46 | P a g e
 commodities such as “other locks of base metal,” transmission shafts, “other
interchangeable tools for hand tools”; tubes, pipes and hollow profiles of cast iron; and
gears and gearing, other than toothed wheels, chain sprockets and “other
transmission elements presented separately, ball or roller screws, gear boxes and
other speed changers, including torque converters. As to top commodities that are
imported are: “other tops, cocks, valves and similar appliances; other parts (not
including rubber tires, engines, electric parts, completely knocked down parts, and
storage batteries) parts of other machineries, gears and gearing; other than toothed
wheels, chain sprockets and other transmission elements separately. The top five
sources of importation are Japan, China (People’s Republic of), Singapore, USA and
Germany. As to the local market, the top 3 sectors are: automotive, construction and
metalworking that the machining respondents served. As presented in the figure
below, automotive (647 responses), construction (372) and metalworking (362).
Others include semicon/electronics (82), mining (28), appliance manufacturing (29),
and etc.

c. Technical Profile
Although, majority of the constituents are found in the status of reconditioned or
secondhand equipment, but the totality also includes state-of-the art equipment that
are also comparable to those found in foreign countries.
There are 5 basic equipment and the most common is the lathe machine
referring to Figure 21. For other equipment, some of them are utilized in engine
rebuilding, others are advanced equipment, which were acquired usually by SMEs
and large-sized companies, such as CNC milling, Vertical Machining Center and
Electric Discharge Machines, Shaper and CNC Lathe. There are also automatic or
robotics machines. Included also are quality control instruments and facilities.
This updated information on the machining sector can be used as a planning
and programming tool to realize the development of the industry.

2. The facilities, workforce and investment requirements are as follows:

a. Facilities:
The survey revealed that machine efficiency which is important in production is the
second top most problem. Probably, most equipment used are secondhand and no

47 | P a g e
 longer accurate to perform and produce engineering parts that are functional and
critical. There is a need to improve and upgrade equipment especially those at the
micro- and small-size companies. The list of available machining equipment can be
accessed at the MIRDC Planning and Management Division that controls facilities.

b. Workforce Skills:
According to survey, there is inadequate skill for most machinists and
supervisors/engineers. The total machine operators and supervisors/engineers is
11,444 (refer to Appendix B), including contract employees, but the formally trained
personnel are only 4,156 (refer to Appendix C). The rest are in-house training which
majority are only coaching-style.
The efforts of the MIRDC and TESDA are not yet enough to meet the growing
need of the public. Tables 21 and 22 shows MIRDC’s training of machinists,
supervisors including engineers and non-production personnel. Below is the
breakdown for 3 years.

 The 2018 trainees (OJTs) for Machining and Automotive Testing is summed
only to 14 while related training reached 23.
MIRDC will have its state-of- the-art training facilities that will be housed at the
DOST-MIRDC compound. The latest facility upgrade will be acquired in the near future.
The Smart Factory/Industry 4.0 is a training manufacturing facility comprises fully-
automated assembly lines that apply lean production, logistics, and quality assurance.
This shall create a comprehensive, modular and expandable factory model, which can
be used in many areas of training and research. This training factory that is to be
installed inside the AMERIAL room, which is a project of Engr. Robert O. Dizon,
MIRDC Executive Director can incorporate all the metalworking processes (including
machining) so that the manufacturing companies would be automated.

c. Investments:
The annual production of the machining industry is robustly increasing from 2015 to
2017. As to the annual sales in 2017, the machining industry reached about P10.4B
from P9.9B in 2016, but these are dominated by medium and large companies.
Inadequate investments are common to the micro- and small-sized companies. The
SETUP beneficiaries are 14 percent of the total respondents, the total amount availed
by those who disclosed their loan, amounted only to P147M. Through SETUP,
respondents are planning to acquire CNC, lathe, milling, crankshaft grinder, reboring
machines and others.

3. The technical capability based on the equipment used, and the process/technology
employed by the industry shows varieties for the industry machining groups, namely:
automotive/transport, fabrication, repair services and manufacturing. Mostly
Manufacturing and Fabrication Groups do not need or requires only minimal
government intervention since these groups are generally capable of upgrading their
own facilities. For government intervention on repair services group, majority of them
would not want to avail of the government programs if these entail costs of paying
regularly and religiously, since their income is not regular.
Issues and concerns of local machining shops: The long period of waiting
cause some of them to refuse filing the loan application. Some respondents said that
they preferred to get high interest loans (from “bombay”) to escape long queues and
“full of documents-requirements” of the government financial assistance program.

50 | P a g e
4. The most appropriate programs to be implemented by concerned organizations to
strengthen the sector are focused on the following market customers such as agriculture,
automotive/transportation and construction sectors.
a. Enhancing and Supporting the Agricultural (especially the food sector), Transportation
and Construction sectors through Iot* and risk management systems in preparation to
the Climate Change critical seasons.
b. Capability Upgrading of the Workforce through Industry Internship Packages for
engineering students from 3rd to 5th years and On-the-Job Training packages for Out
of school youths who are graduates of technical schools thru MIAP – Industry-
Academe Program” and industry associations’ partnership with the engineering
universities and technical schools.
c. Mechanization Program of Pres. Duterte administration:
This new program of Pres. Duterte is backed up by Japan. It will initially cover 10,000
hectares, divided into ten modules, run by farmers’ associations who will be provided
with tractors, transplanters, harvesters, drying facilities, storage facilities, and rice
processing facilities. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will pay half
the cost of the equipment. It will provide the needed technology not only to carry out
efficient planting but also to stop the post-harvest losses that are now set at 23
percent of harvests. Equipment fabricators and machine rebuilders are very much in
demand in this project. [27]

*Iot-Internet of Things

51 | P a g e
Recommendation

The solutions to the problems faced by the machining sector is now tackled integrating the
different solutions and countermeasures offered by major personalities from the industry
associations, industry key personnel, industry players and the solutions solicited through
the focus group discussion including technical consultant.

1. Industry Internship-training of students and technical school graduates

a. Strengthen industry-academe linkage to achieve more rigid training of students who
are technically ready after graduation. Tie-ups among the industry and technical
schools named as “MIAP – Industry-Academe Program” must be strongly
encouraged. To propose a Memorandum of Understanding – to train potential
personnel. Draft a standard or contract for the following.
CSR Program: Encourage local schools tie up with local industry associations
of machining companies. Motivate partnership. Metalworking companies should reach
out to the education institution near their locations and partner with them to develop
the skills and manpower they need. MIAP and PDMA has a program, where-in the
industry association donated machining equipment to a Laboratory Senior High
School in San Pedro to develop skilled workers that can be established as manpower
pool. The values formation should be included on the Senior HS curriculum. Basic
skills should be developed to reduce the training period.

b. There should be a scholarship budget for technical trainers and students taking up
technical courses on machining, welding, metalcasting, electroplating, stamping, die
and mold, forging, and heat treatment. Promote this program to all universities and
colleges as well as technical schools, incorporating this scholarship with
apprenticeship program that are catering to the service of metals, engineering and
allied industries.

2. Enhancing market potentials of metalworking companies specifically agricultural

infrastructures specially the food products. Climate change could possibly cause the
country to experience drought and famine (El Niño, La Niña). A concerted effort to
help/assist agricultural sector to safe keep the food and other agricultural products. The

52 | P a g e
 industry can provide products and services in preparing the packaging, processing and
transportation of food.

Using the six top digital transformation trends[26] that could take place:
First, is the IoT and sensors in the field.

Secondly, similar to the technology in the fields, sensors are also incorporated in the
agricultural machines.

Thirdly, the use of drones and crop monitoring.

Fourth, farming and robotics.

Fifth, the use of RFID sensors and tracking from the field to the store.

Finally, machine learning and analytics, one of the most innovative pieces of the
digital transformation to mine data for trends.

a. Sectoralize the metalworking industry based on the emerging technologies.

Electric cars for Automotive will grow extremely high.
b. Construction is expected to continue growing.
c. Industry Associations: By being united, the industry associations could avail of
foreign trainings offered by the industrialized companies and they will send most
foreign delegates to our machining industry to study our industries
d. By interacting with the fellow managers of other companies, they can understand
more the behavior of their company personnel and how they will handle every
situation. Look up to the best practices of managers with their fellow managers
and supervisors who shared the meaning of their actions. Benchmarking is the
primary activity that the company players should do in order to realize the
development of the machining company.

53 | P a g e
Government Intervention
1. Benchmarking activities are the following:
a. The government of Thailand in the devise of control of product imports.
b. Devise a “US like -protecting the industry” by comparing the problems encountered
and how they solved them.
c. DOST-SETUP program should be expanded to all regions and should streamline
document requirements such that micro companies can upgrade to bigger capacity
and capability.
d. Enhance forums, symposiums and conferences showcasing new trends of machining
technologies to encourage them to level up on providing the following:
i. Technical support and consultancy services
ii. Training programs to enhance productivity through agricultural modernization and
digital transformation and industrial fabrication automation
1. Institutionalized education for the Industry It is suggested that a
Technopreneurship course should be developed to educate these new breeds
of entrepreneurs. MIRDC should create, not only a technical training, but
includes entrepreneurship course to assist these companies.
2. Values Formation and Lack of Technical manpower will always be a threat to
the industry. A partnership with senior high school should be encouraged.
i. Innovation and Information technology promotion –
1. Encourage surveyed companies to join and be active in participating the
regional and local associations.

2. Lobby for a government policy that will provide a tax incentive (Magna carta) to Filipino
businessmen that will provide jobs to fellow Pilipino especially in metals, engineering and
allied industries.
3. Need a stricter control of intensified product/raw material standard monitoring and
implementation (Bureau of Product Standards-DTI).

54 | P a g e
Expanded Study on Machining Sector

Additional study should be conducted wherein the machining industry study be dissected
into a more detailed report. A full review, even on major cities where the concentration of
the business is happening, is highly recommended. The result of the detailed survey can be
used as reference to develop other regions where machining is still an underdeveloped
industry.
Find out the direction for the machining sector to drive away from repair services and
by focusing on the sectors served (construction, industrial fabrication, etc.) that will increase
economic performance.
There is a need to analyze deeply if the service or product provided is indirect or
accessories or direct or major parts as products, based on FGD’s NSB Engineering
representative. Also, to dig deeper on the economic performances out of the sectors
served to check for the top earner based on annual production from the construction,
agricultural, industrial machinery, metalworking, or automotive from 2015 to 2017,
according to Engr. Rene I. de la Cruz, MIRDC Technical Consultant.

Appendix G. Advanced Machining Processes

CNC Machining – is a digital manufacturing technology wherein parts are created by

removing material from a solid block (called the blank or the workpiece) using a variety of
cutting tools, it produces high accuracy parts with excellent physical properties directly from
a CAD file.

The basic CNC process is composed of 3 steps. First, the model of the Computer-aided
Design is performed. Second, the machinist turns the CAD* into a CNC program (G-code)
and sets-up the machine. Lastly, the CNC machine executes all machining operations with
minimum supervision, removing material and creating the part.

Advanced Machining Processes:

The Electrochemical Machining (ECM) – is a machining process that makes use of a

cathode of simple shape which traverses the component to remove materials based on a
pre-designed pattern to shape a particular part. The workpiece serves as an anode and tool
is taken as a cathode. It uses electrolytes which dissolve the reaction products formed on
the workplace by electrochemical action; similar to a reverse electroplating process. It is
also a cold machining process and does no thermal damage to the surface of the
workpiece. This process is used to machine only conductive material.[28]

Ultraprecision Machining – to respond to increasing demands for special parts with surface
finish and dimensional accuracies on the order of a nanometer (10-9m), several important
developments have been taking place in advance machining. A common example is
diamond turning, typically using a single-crystal diamond cutting tool and rigid machine
tools. Applications for such parts and components are in the computer, electronic machine
tools. Applications for such parts and components are in the computer, electronic, nuclear,
and defense industries.
*CAD-Computer-Aided Design

Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) - is based on the principle of erosion of metals by

spark discharges.

Electric Discharge Grinding (EDG) –– is similar to the Electric –Discharge Machining

processes with the exception that the electrode is in the form of a grinding wheel. The
removal rates are up to 1.5 in3/h with practical tolerances on the order of 0.001 in. (0.025
mm).

Ultrasonic Machining (USM) – also called as ultrasonic vibration machining, is a machining

process in which a material is removed from the part through a tool that is given a high
frequency, low amplitude oscillation, which, in turn, transmits a high velocity to fine abrasive
particles that are present bet. The tool and the workpiece. Minute particles of the workpiece
are chipped away on each stroke.

WaterJet Machining (WJM) is a machining process in which the water is ejected from a
nozzle at pressures as high as 200,000 lb/in2 (1,400 MPa) and acts as a saw. The process
86 | P a g e
is suitable for cutting and deburring of a variety of materials such as polymers, paper and
brick in thickness ranging from .03 to 1 in. (0.8 to 25 mm) or more. The cut can be started at
any location, wetting is minimal, and no deformation of the rest of the piece takes place.
Abrasives can be added to the water stream to increase material removal rate, and this is
known as abrasive water jet machining (AWJM).

Laser Beam Machining—is a form of machining process in which the material is removed
by converting electric energy into a narrow beam of light and focusing it on the workpiece.
The heat produced at the surface heats, melts and vaporizes the materials from the w/p.

Electron-Beam Machining – is a machining process which removes material by focusing

high velocity electrons on the workpiece. Unlike lasers, the whole process takes place in
vacuum chambers and is used for drilling small holes, scribing and cutting slots in all
materials, including ceramics. Vaccuum environment is used to avoid the contamination
and get rid of collision of electrons with air molecules.[29]
